Paul phones Eileen in a state and tells her that Lesley's gone missing. Together they search for her and eventually find her at the cemetery. Dr Carter tells Chris that he's aware that he seems to be lying to his friends and family about his condition and that they deserve to share his good news. Chris leaves feeling angry and humiliated. Katy's furious to discover the rent money is missing from her purse. She and Owen head for the vet's. Paul and Eileen guide poor confused Lesley into the café. Jason thinks it's weird that Eileen's now meeting up with Paul and his wife. The vet tells Chesney that Schmeichel's had his operation but it's too soon to tell if it's been a success.

Chris denies it and tells Lloyd that he's got it completely wrong. Cheryl begs Chris not to say anything but he's on a roll, and tells Lloyd that he and Cheryl are back together.
